S FL could be getting a new horse park!

On Tuesday, June 11th the Wellington Village Council will be meeting to discuss the proposal to build the Palm Beach Horse Park on a 67 acre piece of land located on the corner of Stribling Road and State Road 7.  The horse park will feature facilities for the American Quarter Horse, as well as additional breeds.  Because Wellington has always put emphasis on dressage, hunter/jumper and polo, this new park will be able to feature other breeds not represented.  The facility will include a 4,000 seat enclosed and climate controlled stadium, numerous covered indoor and outdoor show rings, a hotel, a unique veterinary instructional facility and an international riding school.  Please visit their website www.palmbeachhorsepark.com or contact their creator Jack Van Dell at 561-333-3100 or by email palmbeachhorsepark@gmail.com.

Good old Craigslist....

It's ads like this that infuriate me...and we see too many of them up on craigslist.  Of course this person would like us to believe (and it could be true) that someone else dumped the horse onto them.  Then why wasn't the authorities called in to report the people for abandonment and neglect?  If we want to eliminate this problem, we need to do what Spain does and require all horses to be microchipped as a formal government controlled identification process.  That way if a horse shows up abandoned, they can track it to the owner and they pay the consequences for it.  Far too many owners are getting by with just dumping their horses (dogs too) without suffering any consequences for it.  If you can afford a horse, then you can afford to microchip it.  This is going to be my number one goal to get this into legislation!
